"May's net loss is a compensation timing story — gross profit hit $28,688, the strongest of the 4-month window, but a catch-up owner draw and contract labor surge swamped it."
Three Power Insights
Net Loss Traces to Compensation Timing, Not Business Weakness
April showed $0 in Guaranteed Payments; May jumped to $15,986 — likely two months combined. Add $8,000 in contract labor and operating expenses hit $35,730 on $28,688 in gross profit. A consistent monthly draw would smooth this out entirely.
Set a fixed monthly Guaranteed Payment of ~$8,000 going forward
Shipping Costs Are Compressing Margins Without Recovery
March gross margin crashed from 21% to 10% when shipping jumped from $1,203 to $8,487. Shipping now runs $10,000–$12,000 every month at 6% of revenue. Shipping income captured in May: $5. The gap is significant and entirely recoverable.
Review whether shipping charges are being passed to customers or absorbed
One Customer Holds 88% of Outstanding A/R
Bernard McAnena accounts for $8,650 of the $9,859 in current A/R — 88% concentration in a single name. The balance is current with no aging concerns, but this level of dependency is worth monitoring. If this customer slows payment, collections tighten fast.
What This Means
Gross Profit
Added $28,688 — strongest month in the 4-month window.
Operating Expenses
Pulled out $35,730 — mostly owner draws ($15,986) and contract labor ($8,000). Timing issue, not a trend.
Inventory Release
$19,553 in equipment moved off the shelf and converted to cash.
A/R Collections
Customers paid $5,810 faster than new billings came in.
Bottom Line
Despite the -$7,042 accounting loss, cash grew $10,402. The business ended May at $105,702.
The Event
NJ Division of Taxation payment due — $7,454.78 is accrued on the balance sheet as sales tax payable.
Estimated Impact
~$7,455 minimum cash outflow. Any additional May/June taxable sales may increase the final amount.
One Action Item
Confirm total NJ sales tax owed and submit payment by July 20 to avoid penalties.
